This is THE BEST soup recipe ever!!! We love this soup as it is so flavorful. Italian sausage, red wine, green peppers, tomatoes... how can you go wrong? I don't remember where I copied this recipe from. I have been making this for years and copied it into a notebook that is now ragged from use and spotted with history of many a meal. Serve this with a grating of Parmesan and a serving of crusty Italian bread and...heaven! This recipe is perfect for entertaining as it is sure to impress your guests.
Italian Sausage Soup
1 1/2# mild Italian sausages, cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large onions, chopped
28 oz. diced tomatoes
3 14-1/2 oz cans beef broth
1 1/2 c. red burgundy wine
1/2 t. dried basil
3 T. chopped parsley or 1 T. dry
1 med. green pepper, chopped
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch slices and quartered
5 oz. pasta (either bow-tie or rotini) about 3 c.
In 5 qt. dutch oven, brown sausage slices. Remove to paper towel. Discard all but 2 T. sausage fat; saute onion and garlic a few minutes to soften. Stir in tomatoes, sausage, broth, wine and basil. Bring to full rolling boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in parsley, green pepper, zucchini and pasta: return to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until noodles are al dente about 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Skim off fat, serve with a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
